The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company. ARTICLE III The purpose of the corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. ARTICLE IV The total number of shares of all classes of stock that the corporation shall have authority to issue is 1,220,000,000 divided into classes as follows: 1,200,000,000 shares shall be Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"); and 20,000,000 shares shall be Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). Shares of any class of stock of the corporation may be issued for such consideration and for such corporate purposes as the Board of Directors of the corporation may from time to time determine. The following is a statement of the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, of the classes of stock of the corporation, and the authority with respect thereto expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the corporation. DIVISION A - PREFERRED STOCK (1) Issuance in Series. The Preferred Stock may be issued in one or more series and in such amounts as may be established and designated from time to time by the Board of Directors as hereinafter provided. The Board of Directors is hereby vested with authority to establish and designate any unissued shares of Preferred Stock as a series of such stock. The designations, powers, preferences and relative and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Preferred Stock of any series shall be those that are stated and expressed herein and, to the extent not stated and expressed herein, shall be such as may be fixed by the Board of Directors and stated and expressed in resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of Preferred Stock of such series. The resolutions shall (a) specify the series to which such Preferred Stock shall belong; (b) specify the annual rate of dividends, if any, payable on shares of such series; (c) fix the amount which the holders of shares of such series shall be entitled to be paid in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation; and (d) state whether and at what times and under what conditions the shares of such series shall be redeemable and the amount or amounts payable thereon in the event of redemption. The -1-

2 resolutions may, in a manner not inconsistent with the provisions of this Article IV, (i) limit the number of shares of such series that may be issued, (ii) provide for a sinking fund for the purchase or redemption, or a purchase fund for the purchase, of shares of such series and the terms and provisions governing the operation of any sinking or purchase fund and the status as to reissuance of shares purchased or otherwise reacquired or redeemed or retired through the operation thereof, and provide that so long as the corporation is in default as to the sinking or purchase fund the corporation shall not (with such exceptions, if any, as may be provided) pay any dividends upon or purchase or redeem shares of any class of capital stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock in respect of dividends or distributions of assets on liquidation of the corporation (all of which classes, other than the Preferred Stock, are hereinafter sometimes in this Division A of this Article IV embraced in the term "junior stock"), (iii) grant voting rights, full or limited, to the holders of shares of such series, (iv) impose conditions or restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of the corporation or upon the issue of additional Preferred Stock or other capital stock ranking on a parity therewith or prior thereto with respect to dividends or distribution of assets upon liquidation, (v) impose conditions or restrictions upon the payment of dividends upon, or the making of other distributions in respect of, or the acquisition of, junior stock, (vi) grant to the holders of shares of such series the right to convert such shares into shares of junior stock, and (vii) grant other special rights to the holders of shares of such series as the Board of Directors may determine and as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Division A of this Article IV. The term "fixed for such series" and similar terms as used in this Division A of this Article IV shall mean stated and expressed in this Division A of this Article IV or in resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors providing for the issue of Preferred Stock of the series referred to therein. (2) Dividends. The holders of shares of Preferred Stock of each series, in preference to the holders of Common Stock and any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, as and when declared by the Board of Directors out of the assets of the corporation that are by law available for the payment of dividends, cash dividends as and to the extent provided in resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such series of Preferred Stock. (3) Redemption. The corporation may redeem in whole or in part the Preferred Stock of any series which by its terms is redeemable, at the time or times and on the terms and conditions fixed for such series, upon notice duly given as hereinafter provided, by paying therefor in cash the sum fixed for such series, together, in each case, with an amount equal to dividends accrued to the date fixed for redemption and remaining unpaid. In case of the redemption of only part of the Preferred Stock of any series at the time outstanding, at the option of the Board of Directors such redemption shall be made pro rata or the shares of such series to be redeemed shall be chosen by lot in such manner as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors, except as may otherwise be provided herein or in the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors for the issuance of such series. Notice of any proposed redemption of Preferred Stock shall be given by the corporation by mailing a copy of such notice at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed at the holder's address appearing on the books of the corporation. From and after the date of redemption so designated, notwithstanding that any certificate representing shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the shares represented thereby shall no longer be deemed outstanding, the right to receive dividends thereon shall cease to accrue and all rights with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock so called for redemption shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except for the right of the holders thereof to receive the redemption price of such shares so to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid dividends up to the date fixed for redemption, but without interest thereon. -2-

3 (4) Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation (all of which are hereinafter embraced in the word "liquidation"), then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other junior stock, the holders of the Preferred Stock of the respective series shall be entitled to be paid in full the respective amounts fixed for such series, plus in each case a sum equal to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to the date of payment thereof. After this payment has been made in full to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the remaining assets and funds of the corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the Common Stock and the other junior stock of the corporation according to their respective rights. In the event that the assets of the corporation are not sufficient to make the payment herein required to be made in full, such assets shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock of the respective series pro rata in proportion to the respective amounts fixed for such series. Neither (a) the merger or consolidation of the corporation into or with another corporation, nor (b) the merger of any other corporation into the corporation, shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation with the meaning of this Paragraph (4). (5) Limitations. So long as any shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the corporation shall not, without the consent of the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of the Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at a meeting called for the purpose: (a) Create or authorize any shares of any class of stock ranking prior to the Preferred Stock in respect of dividends or distributions of assets on liquidation of the corporation (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "prior stock") or any securities convertible into any such prior stock; or (b) Amend, alter or repeal any of the rights, preferences or powers of the holders of Preferred Stock to affect adversely any such rights, preferences or powers; provided, however, that if any amendment, alteration or repeal affects adversely the rights, preferences or powers of one or more, but not all, series of Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, only the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the total number of shares of all series so affected shall be required by this Paragraph (5). (6) Status of Shares Redeemed or Retired. Except as otherwise provided in this Division A of this Article IV or in any resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of any particular series of Preferred Stock, Preferred Stock redeemed or otherwise retired by the corporation shall assume the status of authorized but unissued Preferred Stock and may thereafter, subject to the provisions of this Division A of this Article IV and of any restrictions contained in any resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of any particular series of Preferred Stock, be reissued in the same manner as other authorized but unissued Preferred Stock. -3-

After the requirements with respect to any preferential dividends upon the Preferred Stock have been met, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors. (2) Voting Rights. Each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote for each share held. (3) Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation of the corporation, after the holders of the Preferred Stock of each series and any other class of stock ranking prior to the Common Stock in respect of distributions of assets on liquidation of the corporation have been paid in full the amount to which they respectively shall be entitled, or a sum sufficient for such payment in full has been set aside, the remaining net assets of the corporation shall be distributed pro rata to the holders of the Common Stock in accordance with their respective rights and interests, to the exclusion of the holders of the Preferred Stock and any other class of stock ranking prior to the Common Stock. DIVISION C - PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CAPITAL STOCK (1) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the Common Stock and any other capital stock of the corporation at the time entitled thereto shall vote together as one class. (2) Regarding Pre-emptive Rights. No stockholder of the corporation shall by reason of holding shares of any class have any pre-emptive or preferential right to purchase or subscribe to any shares of any class of this corporation, now or hereafter to be authorized, or any notes, debentures, bonds or other securities convertible into or carrying options or warrants to purchase shares of any class, now or hereafter to be authorized, whether or not the issuance of any shares, or notes, debentures, bonds or other securities, would adversely affect the dividend or voting rights of such stockholder, other than such rights, if any, as the Board of Directors in its discretion may fix. The Board of Directors may issue shares of stock of any class of this corporation, or any notes, debentures, bonds or other securities convertible into or carrying options or warrants to purchase shares of stock of any class, without offering any such shares of stock of any class or any notes, debentures, bonds or other either in whole or in part, to the existing stockholders of any class.
